    I can't wait........8 days and counting.

    A few moose I saw. Unfortunately I didn't see a lot of deer. I saw deer before the season started while scouting, but I think due to the later start date, dry basins, and maybe pressure the deer moved down. By the time I realized this and moved from the alpine basins I wasn't able to...

    I can't wait........8 days and counting.

    Been a bit hectic since I got back after being gone for almost 2 weeks. The hunt was awesome. Something about disconnecting yourself from everything for 12 days really allows you to recharge. The scenery from this area was great. Plenty of wildlife to be seen. Saw one bull that got...

    Who else is...

    I got in a nice hike Sunday. Almost 12 mi with 45 lbs on my back. Then a shorter 2 mi hike yesterday with the family. But I upped the weight to 60 just to see how the body recovered from the hike the day before. I was happy, didn't feel too bad.

    Kifaru packs

    Kicking around getting a Kifaru pack and I'm looking at the Duplex Timberline. For those that have one how do you haul the meat out? Obviously you could place it directly in the bag. But, is there a way to carry it between the bag and frame (similar to Stone Glacier) so you can keep things...

    Swarovski spotting scope for digiscoping

    I have a Swarovski ATS 65 spotting scope that I was hoping to pair up with my Nikon D5100 camera. I can't seem to make heads or tails of Swarovski's digiscoping adapter. It appears to be a lens with an adapter that you have to buy and costs $600-650. Seems a bit steep. I'm hoping to find an...

    Anyone hunt unit 36 last year? More precisely, in the wilderness area and during the combined muzzleloader and now early high country rifle mule deer hunt? Is it overly crowded? Was the weather an issue this last year? I'm asking because the new harvest results were posted and the early...

    Wyoming Draw Odds

    In the spirit of the upwards $1.5 Billion Powerball that is making people I work with go crazy and day dream non-stop. I decided to do my version of day dreaming and was looking at the random draw odds for some of the Wyoming elk hunts that I will probably never get to go on since I am too far...
